Myth Weavers is pleased to announce the Dungeons & Dragons Create a Villain Contest! Members may create a villain using any edition of the Dungeons & Dragons rules, and the final entries will be voted on by the community.

First place wins a new copy of the Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition Players Handbook!

The contest runs from July 1 to July 31, and voting will then run from August 1 through August 7. The winner will be announced on August 8 and contacted via PM. Contest details and directions may be found HERE!

The upgrade was a success! Please let me know in Site Discussion if anything has gone awry!

Seriously, though, what moron came UP with this thing. First contact, if it happens, will happen a century before they actually GET HERE. Any aliens coming to earth have seen our broadcasts. They know as much about our analogue technology as we do. Digital tech will be more choppy, but they definitely got our analogue down pat. They know our languages. And SETI has shown them enough about our science and physiology that there's no doubt of our development on any cultural, biological, or technological level.

IF they show up. It's either because they want to strip mine our planet (doubt it- space is full of mud and metal- why fight a gravity well for supplies?)... they want us as slaves (why? They gotta have robots better than us)... or they want to find out if humans really are the biggest nymphos in the universe.

So, for the sake of our species' future reputation as the party capitol of the galaxy. That is what we must do.

Invite them for a nice cup of genma-chai (hoping I have some in my caddy when they show) and show them that not all of us are barbaric morons who kill anything different. If they want sex, they will need to buy me dinner first at the very least.
